LlamaSquad Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 My one criticism of GCG77 was that the Openweight division wasn't set up and that the company was clearly using "Junior" identification. Thanks for the feedback. I'll likely have a floating Openweight belt, a Lightweight belt ("Junior" conveys Elemental flippy stuff) and an Openweight tag belt.

LlamaSquad Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 <strong>Very</strong> early rosters for Canada. CWF also have Whipper Marks, T-Bone Thompson and Woolly Steppe II, the latter two CV77 guys.<p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2018_06/CANADA1.jpg.54ed66da5064d3a6d0f3963a945f2172.jpg" data-fileid="3428" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="3428" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="CANADA1.jpg.54ed66da5064d3a6d0f3963a945f2172.jpg" data-src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2018_06/CANADA1.jpg.54ed66da5064d3a6d0f3963a945f2172.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LlamaSquad Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Also, the MPWF roster:<p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2018_06/MPWF1.jpg.7801b1fd0029a7df78fdf0e748bdc526.jpg" data-fileid="3429" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="3429" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="MPWF1.jpg.7801b1fd0029a7df78fdf0e748bdc526.jpg" data-src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2018_06/MPWF1.jpg.7801b1fd0029a7df78fdf0e748bdc526.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 <p>Both Mexican companies have some amazingly talented legends on the roster.... Patron is the Champagne Lover of his day and any company with him involved has no choice but to grow to epic proportions. And MPWF having some legends including young Sam Keith starring in some of his legendary matches can only have had huge success too. I would assume both companies were at least cult, with OLLIE probably being the larger of the two. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> I had also forgotten about CWF... their roster could be pretty amazing, but they would have to have their TV deals limited to Canada. Basically the NOTBPW of their time, with some of the most legendary tag teams ever all being part of their roster. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually do an Openweight Singles and Openweight Tag Team titles during a game in 1977, no Lightweight belt whatsoever. GCG to me feels like the smaller wrestlers usually only got their shine in tag team matches more so than anything else, with the openweight title as a sop to the likes of the Golden Boy and others.

LlamaSquad Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 This is the Excel spreadsheet I'm using to track the data in the mod. It gives a preview of certain rosters for those who want them (all subject to change), but is mainly for the attention of Midnightnick, who is providing invaluable help with roster creation and potential testing. Do with this what you will. Thanks. EDIT: It claims the file's 'invalid', does anyone know why? EDIT 2: Turns out you can't post .xlsx files, here it is.CV86.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
